A network consists of a graph and additional data on (properties of) nodes and/or links. In some applications, the values of properties can be structured objects such us intervals, compositions, sets of keywords, temporal quantities, etc.
Standard network description formats do not support such kinds of networks. We propose a JSON based format NetsJSON as a general network description option. It is supported in Python by a network analysis library Nets. The NetsJSON descriptions can be used as input data for network visualizations based on D3.js.
